1. I love patterns and structure - whether they are expressed in fabric or in numbers - through sewing & weaving or through math & statistics...

2. I love teaching - both the part where you have to figure out how to explain and illustrate things and the part where you get to connect with your students on a personal level and share in their accomplishments.

3. I am married to a man who calls our kitten (Popeye, not Oliver), "Mr. Squeakers Magoo."

4. My idea of heaven is eating dark chocolate while having my feet rubbed... Oh, and I'm in a flowing pink dress! ;)

5. I struggle with chronic & clinical depression.

6. I feel the emotions of other people very strongly - nothing gives me more joy than doing something that brings a smile or a laugh to someone else's face... :)

7. In spite of all my sewing, I seriously need help putting together an organized, coherent and classic wardrobe for myself! ;)

Of course, you would love to teach. It comes across in your posts. These awards are an opportunity to know something of the blogger, and also to discover new blogs. As I visited the sites you posted, I came across a video of you, talking about your reference cards. It was wonderful, seeing you, hearing your voice.

Thanks, Gwen. :)It's funny - I'm comfortable talking in front of a group live, but I definitely prefer being behind a camera to being in front of one... ;)Anyways, we shall see what 2013 brings - hopefully good things and lots of time to sew for all of us! :)Happy New Year!

Thanks so much Gwen - it's lovely to be considered a part of such great company. Hard to think of myself as inspiring, especially after a pretty icky 2012 but the goal this year is to accomplish more. Hopefully, that works out LOL ! Happy New Year :-)

Thanks, Elaina. I take medicine too - you're exactly right - it doesn't stop it, but it helps. It's difficult enough for me to find time to sew and blog - I can't even imagine what it's like for you with two kids! But I bet Christmas was fun with the toddler! :)Here's hoping 2013 is a good year for all of us! :)

Thank you from the bottom of my heart Gwen. You may have noticed that I have not been posting much of late and this award just may be the kick in the pants that I need to set some time aside for it again.

One often wonders if the information is helpful, appreciated or needed. With so many obligations in our life blogging can be a time consuming way to try to connect with like minded folks.

It has been a pleasure to meet you and its always a pleasure to spend time in your sewing space and classroom:)

Hi Lynne,It's so nice to be in touch again with you and my other internet-sewing friends after my time away last year. :)I know what you mean about wondering about blogging - I often ask myself if it really means anything to anyone else when I blog... But then I remember all the wonderful people that I have met and that means the world to me! I know that I enjoy your blog and your friendship - I would love it some day if I could visit your sewing cafe for real! :)I hope 2013 is a wonderful year for all of us!All the best,Gwen

About Me

I started my first blog (The Wedding Dress Saga) to chronicle my adventures sewing a wedding dress (my first) for a dear friend. My second sewing blog (After the dress) chronicled the next 4 years of my sewing life. A new stage in life called for a new blog - welcome to: "In Over My Head"
